Elemental Gelade 4
August 19, 2007
So. We get a volume about training and building the relationship between Cou and Ren. At the end, we get to go back to the fights they failed spectacularly at last volume. There is some slight plot involved as the characters try to free a pair of sisters, but mostly it’s just explained and hinted at, then the resolution is carried over into the next volume.
While the fighting is much cooler and there is more information about the Edel Raids and how they mesh with Pleasures this time around, it’s still just… not my thing. It still feels really shallow, even with all the development we got here. Plus, not much happened to advance the group to the Garden they need to wind up in. A few more volumes like this… well, I don’t know who I’m kidding because I never give up on series… but a few more volumes like this and I’ll really, really want to give up on it. It’s really just not for me.
